I'm currently studding for my general licence and I find that they ask a lot of technical stuff. I have no electrical back ground what so ever, so my question is how much of the test is comprised of technical/ electrical questions, most of the other stuff is quite easy. Thanks

Congrats on your new licence I will watch this post because I will be writing my test in probably 2 weeks time and will be looking for a Mobile unit ans antenna

Well I was talking to the person that will be given me my ham test in the near future )very helpful person whom lives only 10 mins up the street) :) Anyway he sent me this link so I thought I would share it here. Its a person in BC Canada who designed this site to help new want to be ham...

Very interesting and thanks for the test "Now on my 10K. Every thing was close to the same, except I had 1.0 on channels 38 thru 10. But the ohm's never hit 50. Thay were from 49 to 48. (no biggie) And Match set-up was also @ 99%. And X=0 on a few channels. Never could get the Coily to...

welcome Let us know how you make out Cheers Joe

Hello Keven I just installed it myself, and tuned the antenna with my Fathers SWR meter, very easy to do. The Uniden is standard, no tweaks at all, and the the dynamic squelch works just fine on this radio An all around great radio and I would recomend it Very Very happy with the...

Well I done a little test today I was driving south on the 400 and a truck was driving north I cleared my odometer as soon as he passed me then made contact and continued to talk for as long as we could It was 4 kilometres on my car, so double that for an approximate distance of 8...

Re: other forum I think your right LOL

I was reading this thread and now I understand why I can't get a membership at that other forum LOL I tried 3 times, even sent an e mail asking for approval, and still nothing. I got one response saying that they had server problems and could not approve anyone at the moment, that was 2...

Thanks Switch Kit I settled on the Larson because of its great reputation, and quality, NOT to say that the Wilson are not a quality antenna, they are. I did get the mount for free(this would have been a 55 dollar Canadian cost) so moving up to the Larson only cost me 5 dollars with my lil...

I have the Uniden PC-68XL and the Larson NMO-27 BCO Coil and the Larson W-490 (49 inch) whip Is there an easy way to boost the power of the radio, even by say 10 to 20 watts?? Something that someone with little to no radio smarts can do. If so please give easy detailed instructions...

Well I took the lil wil back and exchanged it for the Larson 27 BCO Coil and the Larson W-490 (49 inch) whip, I recieved the Mag mount for free(that was 55 dollars canadian on its own) So thats it for me, I'll stick with this for a while, It should get me out a lot further than the lil wil...

I was discussing this with my father a long time ham operator and he could not give me an answer Since you can get a CB antenna with a large coil and whip, I could not understand why one could not use a CB antenna for a ham I thought for sure the Wilson 5000 could do it. I mean a coil is a...

a ham mobile antenna, and a CB mobile antenna They both have whips and coils, so whats different in a CB coil to a ham coil I goggled this but couldn't get an answer Thanks

Ok Thanks I thought I saw on this forum that someone used the Wilson 1000 as a ham antenna and found that it worked well. Obviously I was on something at the time lol

Stupid question Can a CB antenna (say Larsen 1000) be used for a mobile 2 meter radio. Thanks

Thanks guys I will keep you posted :)
